Why Natural Latex Makes for a Healthier Mattress

Natural latex has a lot to offer consumers when it comes to mattresses. Not only does it provide for a much better night’s sleep, but it also has a few secret benefits that aren’t as widely known about latex and the mattresses it creates.

Health Benefits of a Good Night’s Sleep

You’ve probably heard countless adages by now about how a good night’s sleep is better than money in the bank. But, do you have any idea how much fact these statements are based on? There’s a reason that bed rest is a common part of the prescription for many of life’s ailments – it’s effective. Sleep allows your body the opportunity to do what it was designed to do (heal itself) in more optimal conditions than it can achieve while awake. These are just a few of the health factors that can be impacted negatively by getting too little sleep at night:

Mood – do people duck for cover when you walk into a room after a sleepless night?

Mental acuity – It’s simply impossible to think when your mind is in a fog of sleep deprivation for the entire day – it gets even worse after consecutive sleepless nights.

Coordination and muscle control – this helps you avoid potentially significant slips and falls that can lead to broken bones or worse.

Immune response – your body is simply able to fight off diseases more effectively when it’s had a good night’s worth of sleep the night before.

The list could go on and on, but you probably have a good idea by now of how important a proper amount of sleep at night really is.

Unexpected Health Benefits Specific to Natural Latex Mattresses

Latex mattresses created from 100% pure botanical latex offer a few unanticipated health benefits to many owners who had never even considered the possibilities before. These benefits might come as quite a surprise, but are well worth considering as you make your final mattress buying decisions. Being a natural mattress means they possess these qualities and properties:

Mold resistant

Mildew resistant

Antibacterial

Antimicrobial

Inhospitable to dust mites

Breathable materials (won’t sleep hot)

These things may not seem all that impressive one by one. But, when you put them together, they form a powerful and compelling reason to have natural latex mattresses near the top of your short list of mattresses to consider as opposed to man-made synthetic options.

The Absence of Pain

Another benefit to consider, especially for people who suffer from chronic back pain, is the fact that natural latex mattresses provide excellent support for proper spine alignment while sleeping. They also provide just enough give to hug your body’s natural shaping so that you can rest comfortably. This means less pain in the morning. People who have dealt with long-term back pain know how intense and draining it can be. A simple change of mattress can bring a great deal of relief for improved mental and physical health.

Natural organic latex mattresses provide a wide range of benefits to the people who sleep on them night after night. Isn’t it time to try it out for yourself to see what kind of difference it can make for you?

Every Plushbeds latex mattress, latex topper and memory foam mattress is sold with a carbon neutral mindset.

What this means that we have obtained an offset to balance out any greenhouse gas emissions we create by running our website and back end operations.
We worked with TerraPass on doing an audit. They helped us measure exactly how much carbon we were putting into the atmosphere by running the Plushbeds website.

Armed with that knowledge, TerraPass has taken actions to offset our carbon footprint by funding clean energy and other projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
At the end of the day our emissions will be balanced out by a comparable amount of reductions.

Every TerraPass project is conducted and verified according to a publically available carbon offset standard such as the Voluntary Carbon Standard 2007 and the Climate Action Reserve.

We hope that in time many more websites will also become carbon neutral.
